The building of the porte, called sub
lime, is. or was, a kind of long. low
barracks, without style and without
beauty. a fire destroyed part of it some
years ago.
The phrase sublime porte is applied
to both the building and the administra-
ton, two things that are important, but
neither the one nor the other is sublime
This word has. however. a very ancient
origin. When the Turks. long before
the conquest, were only hordcs of Tar
tars and nomads, their chiefs or sultans
were in the habit of dispensing justice at
the door of their tent. There the cadis
assembled and heard the complaint and
then the defense. The sultan appeared
upon the spot only at the conclIson of
the trial to get the opinions of the judges
and to render his decision. To go to the
porte was for the Turks the equivalent of
seeking Justice at the hands of the sultan
and his cOunselOrs.
As to the pompOus epithet sublime
coupled with this POOR porte, it Is one of
those Oriental speeches that the flattery
of the weak has bestowed voluntarily
upon the tyranny of the strong. The
Turkish language abound; in these quail
ticatives -higliuess, excellence. divine.

SHINE Hunting.

The old joke of carrying unsuspecting
innocents into swamps ON the pretense of
catching snipe, has been practiced 81
often that nearly everybody is into the
sell, and it is a pretty hard matter to
get n victim. Some of the Palatka
boys, however, have been coaching a
young man in town for several DAYS.
and last night they took him out be-
yond the junction to initiate him into
the mysteries of snipe hunting. He was
given an old corn sack and a light, and
stationed as far into the swamp as 1t was
possible to go. where he was left while
his companions went off to drive the
snipe. They returned TO the city in
great glee over the success of their joke.
and the victim doubtless kept long
and silent vigil for the snipe that never
came

New Orleans is the largest consumer
of snails in this country. They are first
thrown into hot water, says Southern
epicure, and killed. Then they are
washed in weak solution of I've which
removes the slime, and the shells are
cleaned with stronger I've. Then the
meats are boiled and replaced in the
shells, with n dressing of bread and
parsley, and thus prepared the snails are
roasfed. When the covers are removed
from the dish. one must eat the snails,
whether one likes them or not. the flavor
Is so enchanting. They can be eaten in
two ways; the meat can be picked out
Nth fork, or the shell may be put in
e mouth and sucked out bodily.
